Birman kittens & cats in Hyattsville, Maryland

Veronica’s Personality Veronica is a striking chocolate brown Birman-mix with a cute white tipped tail and beautiful blue eyes. Veronica must have been royal in a former life because she certainly acts like a Queen! After a little time to settle into a new place, Veronica views you as her personal servant. She expects you to admire her and serve her every whim!  Veroinica is very affectionate, greeting you at the door when you return home. Once inside, she follows you around the house. Veronica loves hanging out with you. If you are working from home, she is usually playing or napping nearby. If you are working on a jigsaw puzzle, she climbs into the box to be close by. If you are sitting on the couch, Veronica likes to sit on your lap or next to you. And she likes to find ingenious hiding spots such as the top of a curio cabinet. She does shed a bit but she loves to be brushed, especially on her cheeks. Veronica’s tail is very expressive. When she spots a squirrel outdoors, her tail twitches like crazy and she runs from window to window to follow the squirrel’s progress. Sometimes her tail twitches as if it’s not her own and then she’ll chase it. You can't help but laughing at her. She is also good at finding one of her toys and playing with it by herself. Type of Home Veronica Needs Veronica MUST be the only cat, and the only pet, in her forever home. She has lived with other cats and has made it clear they annoy her so she doesn't hesitate to chase them away. She also needs a relatively quiet home - ideally with adults - where she gets plenty of attention. A home with an older cat-savvy child would be fine. When living in a multi-cat home, she gained a bit too much weight and is now on a strict portion-controlled diet which needs to continue. Where Veronica Came From Veronica came into our care from a loving home after her caretaker's failing health made it difficult for her to care for Veronica.PLEASE NOTE:  we only adopt to residents of the DC metro area, which includes DC, Prince Georges and Montgomery Counties in MD, and Arlington, Fairfax, Prince William, and Loudoun Counties in VA.

Chanel is a proper prom queen. She`s got The Look. She`s got The Personality. She`s got...Diarrhea? Well, sometimes, yeah. Before we talk about her special needs when it comes to `powdering her nose`, we want to properly introduce Miss Popularity - Miss Chanel. A social butterfly who loves to play with other kitties and even small dogs, she`s like one of those popular girls who is popular because she`s SO pretty and SO nice and SO cool and you almost hate her but can`t help but to love her because she`s just so....PURRFECT. Even Chanel`s hobbies help highlight her best features: she stares out the window at birds and squirrels, catching the sun in her perfect blue eyes. When she naps, she curls up with her foster mom with her soft, gorgeous fur and smells like lavender and sunshine (well, we don`t know that for sure, but just look at her. that`s our guess). She even has a big room all to herself, but honestly, that`s the part we`re hoping to change. Chanel came to AARF as an extremely tiny kitten and due to a congenital condition that resulted in an inability to pass poo, she underwent a surgery that removed most of her colon. After over two years of healing and care with her foster family, she is finally ready for adoption. Chanel is on a special diet along with B12 and probiotics that help keep the booty-floods at bay. Now and then, there may be a drop of poo, but honestly, a little scat shouldn`t dissuade you from adopting this otherwise perfect cat. Chanel has blossomed in her foster home, but spends much of her time in a big, comfy private room - when she would much prefer run of the house with a family of her home. She`s labeled `Special Needs`, but honestly, her needs are primarily a family that will maintain her diet, and give her the endless love she deserves.

Some of us have had extensive surgeries, dental work, or other necessary procedures. AARF is committed to getting all of us entirely
